Happy Friday and happy National Mango Day. Our community project for today: wear a perfume (or a body product?) with a mango note, if you have one.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m back in Hermès Un Jardin Sur le Nil…
My neighborhood feels a little quieter on summer weekends, due to many residents’ migrations to and from the seashore. That’s not something I personally do, because there are certain things about summer beaches that really make me miserable: the crowds, the noise, the excessive sunlight. I love the beach, on my own terms: off-season, in fall or spring, under slightly cloudy skies.
Since I can’t always have the beach the way I like it, or I can’t actually get there when the conditions are most favorable, I’m partial to beach-themed perfumes that let me imagine an ideal seashore visit. Two new additions to my rotation of beachy perfumes are BDK Parfums Sel d’Argent and Carthusia A’mmare, marine fantasies with different olfactory moods…
It’s Almost-Friday and National Junk Food Day. (Birthdays today: Robin Williams, Ernest Hemingway, Cat Stevens). What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Hermès Un Jardin Sur le Nil body lotion.
Reminder: on 7/22, for National Mango Day, wear a perfume (or a body product?) with a mango note, if you have one…
It’s Hump Day, International Chess Day and Gregor Mendel’s birthday. (And, PSA, I am off on a road trip today, to Northern Massachusetts, then later to Maine. I’ll probably be gone until around July 28 or 29. We’ll continue to have daily polls but posting might be lighter than usual.) What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Parfums de Nicolaï Eau Exotique, day 2.
